Other examples, Iowa City was ranked the No. 3 best place to live in America by Outside Magazine, Forbes listed Iowa City 13th in the Best Cities for Business and Careers category and Yahoo finance ranked Iowa City as the #1 City to Start Over in.

A popular misconception about Iowa is that it’s nothing but mile after mile of cornfields. There’s nothing wrong with cornfields, but that stereotype just isn’t true.
